Description

This fascinating book is no mere picture-gallery of veteran car photographs, nor is it a tabulation of the bores, strokes and horsepowers of their engines. It is essentially a ‘how-to-do’ book — a practical service manual which should be in the hands of every veteran motor-car owner-driver.

It is well known that every veteran motor-car has its own idiosyncrasies and indispositions — troubles which are often difficult to trace and even more difficult to rectify.

Ernest Carter sets out to fill what is a gap in veteran motoring literature by describing in detail some of the more remote technicalities of many makes of car, from starting handles to back wheels. Principles of carburettors, magnetos, clutches and other general parts are dealt with, together with details vitally useful for servicing, adjustment and tuning.

Hardback in good condition for age, with good clean dust jacket, some small scuffs and tears to edges in places.
